Jetline can spare you the considerable time
and effort of making price comparisons for your Canary Island Holidays,
as we have already done
this, comparing hundreds of flights
and hotels
to arrive at those that offer the best value.
We can give you the peace
of mind of not having to worry about any part of your arrangements. We
can arrange resort transfers, or book a private
taxi if you prefer; we can arrange airport parking in the U.K. at discounted
rates; and we can arrange car hire in resort, and Travel Insurance, again
at the best possible price.
CANARY ISLANDS ATTRACTIONS
Las
Palmas de Gran Canaria – this is the largest town of the Canaries,
and has the big city throb to it. It is expanding to such a degree
that it is enveloping the little island of La Isleta to its north.
Las Palmas stretches along the coast for about three kilometres to
Santa Catalina, and has the three-kilometre long beach, the Playa de
las Canteras, on the western side of the La Isleta land bridge. This
is where the hotels, bars, shops, and all things touristy are located.
Isla
de Lanzarote – UNESCO has declared this fascinating, dry
and arid island a Biosphere Reserve. It has a surreal volcanic landscape,
with Cueva de los Verdes, a spectacular kilometre long chasm that is
part of a lava tube, formed by volcanic activity 5000 years ago. In the
middle of another lava tube, Jameos del Agua, is a gorgeous azure lake.
A restaurant and bars have been built on its shore, as well as a concert
hall seating 500.
Playa del Ingles & Maspalomas – this is where
the European sun-seekers come to play, and if the aroma of suntan oils
and lotions,
and the sight of so many gorgeous near nude bodies get all too much for
you, there are always the theme parks to calm you down. Palmitos Park
is subtropical paradise of flora and fauna with about 230 species of
birdlife enjoying the good life within its bounds CANARY ISLANDS RESTAURANTS
Cueva De La Tea - although obviously catering to the tourist trade, this
place has great atmosphere, and the owners put all they’ve got
into making your meal and your visit one to remember. The specialty
of the house is rabbit,
which makes an excellent meal. (Unless of-course you are a bunny-hugger, like
me.)
El Diablo – Montanas Del Fuego, Lanzarote, this restaurant, which
it is situated on a volcano, must have the lowest fuel bill on the island,
because the grill is built over the belly of the beast, and food is cooked
by Mother Nature herself.
El Novillo Precox – Las Palmas, Gran Canaria,
if your hunger knows no bounds, and you dare all, then take on the challenge
of finishing
a meal of South American style barbecued meat at this restaurant where
their belief in value for money is as great as their portions.
El Dornajo – Playa
De Las Americas, Tenerife, generous helpings of good food make this restaurant
an excellent eatery for the hungry,
the hard up, as well as the happy family
CANARY ISLANDS BARS & CLUBS
Bodegon Tamanca – San Nicolas, La Palma, if you are in the mood to meet
the natives on their own ground, then drop in on this bar where the ambience
is warm and rustic, and the locals meet for their nightly booze-up.
El Bote – Los
Cristanos, Tenerife, Located just behind the harbour promenade, this tiny bar
decked out like a wannabe boat, serves great
drinks, and if you are peckish, also offers food. The Tapas are known
by the locals as the best in the area.
Chic/Cream – Playa Des Ingles,
Gran Canaria, if you are between 18 and 30 in years, or heart, this is
where the music bounces, the vibe
is electrifying, and the volume mind-and-everything-else-blowing.
CANARY
ISLANDS BEACHES
Maspaloma – Gran Canaria, of all the gorgeous beaches in the islands,
this must surely be one of the most beautiful, with wide, never-ending
stretches of
fine white sands, beside a brilliant blue sea.
Playa las Americas – La
Troya, with sun beds and shades, showers, shops, and restaurants, all within
easy reach, this grey sand beach offers just about
everything for every need. It has shallow waters where the kids can splash
about, coves for a secret rendezvous or two, and the occasional rollers just
for fun.
Costa de Banaderos – Gran Canaria, this is a beautiful part
of the coast with wonderful scenery and little bays. Perfect for romantics.
